A nurse is teaching a client who is preoperative for a neobladder urinary diversion.
Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
You will have an internal pouch to store your urine.
You will not be able to control your urination.
You will have a stoma that is located in your abdomen.
You will wear an external collection bag to drain your urine.
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Neobladder urinary diversion involves creating an internal reservoir or pouch from a segment of the intestine to store urine. This new bladder is then connected to the urethra,
enabling the client to void through the urethra. This method closely mimics natural urination, allowing the client to have some control over urination.
Choice B rationale
This is incorrect because a neobladder is designed to allow the client to control urination. While there might be a learning curve for the client to adapt to the new bladder, the ultimate
goal is to achieve continence.
Choice C rationale
This describes an ileal conduit, another type of urinary diversion, where a stoma is created on the abdomen for urine to pass into an external bag. The neobladder does not involve a
stoma for urination.
Choice D rationale
This is incorrect as it pertains to an ileal conduit or urostomy. Clients with a neobladder do not require an external collection bag since urine is stored internally in the constructed
bladder and can be passed through the urethra. .

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Including toilet paper with the collected urine can contaminate the sample and affect the accuracy of the test results.
Choice B rationale
The first void at the start of the collection period should be discarded to ensure that only urine produced during the 24-hour period is collected.
Choice C rationale
Refrigerating the urine during the collection period helps preserve the sample and prevent bacterial growth, which could alter the test results.
Choice D rationale
The last void at the end of the collection period should be included to ensure that the full 24-hour period is accounted for in the collection.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Reducing daily activity is not advised for clients with constipation. Physical activity helps stimulate bowel movements and can relieve constipation.
Choice B rationale
Trying to defecate at different times of the day is not recommended. Establishing a regular bowel routine helps promote consistent bowel movements and can prevent constipation.
Choice C rationale
Increasing daily fluid intake is beneficial for constipation. Fluids help soften stool, making it easier to pass and promoting regular bowel movements.
Choice D rationale
Consuming a low-fiber diet is not advisable for clients with constipation. A high-fiber diet helps bulk up and soften stool, making it easier to pass through the intestines.
